Artist's Statement

I am attempting in my work to find a balance between what is seen and what is remembered or imagined. I find that I go back and forth between more representational and more abstract.

My images come from nature and the city and I find in the rhythms of the seasons, metaphors for my life.

I am intrigued by the connections between the arts and often work in collaboration with musicians and poets.

The artists whom I admire and who have influenced my work include Charles Burchfield, Milton Avery, Arthur Dove, Richard Diebenkorn and Mark Rothko. The sculptures of Henry Moore and Isamu Noguchi have had a profound effect on me.
